Every April 20, UN Chinese Language Day reminds us of a truly inspiring moment in cultural history. Marked by the Grain Rain—when spring nurtures the land—this day commemorates the legendary creation of Chinese characters by Cangjie, whose brilliance still resonates today.
This year, as we celebrate the 15th anniversary of the designation made in 2010, Professor Peteris Pildegovičs, a renowned Sinologist from Latvia, and his dedicated students have brought a burst of creative energy to the occasion. They organized a series of lively activities and unveiled an original song titled The Chinese Language – Brilliant with Charm! 🎶 This song vividly captures the refreshing vitality of spring rains that nourish crops and, more importantly, honors Cangjie for his timeless innovation. It emphasizes how language acts as a bridge, fostering cultural exchange and mutual understanding.
At 87 years old, Professor Pildegovičs made a heartfelt appearance in the video, expressing his warm congratulations and passion for cultural unity. His message reminds us that the power of language can inspire and connect people across generations. 🌟
Stay tuned for the debut of this captivating musical celebration on CGTN!
